Don, I didn't know the fridge drew that much. Reason I say that is because I have an older fridge from my Citation rebuild project sitting in my garage. I got a 3 way parts donor with a bad cooling system and I converted my good fridge to 3 way from 2 way.
Why you ask? Because I could! And before I realized how useless a fridge running on 12V really is. I always run down the road on gas.
At any rate, I pulled the 110V heating element and it was rated at only 175 watts. I think it was stamped on it or something. Perhaps the newer stuff has higher wattage heating elements. I didn't know about the 325 watts.
I very seldom ever run my fridge on 110V. I find they are way more efficient on gas.
I have a mile of 14 ga. extension cords so buying a cord is not an issue. On my old Sportsmen TT I made a short extension cord in the front into one of the cabinets so I could run 2 shore power cables. It worked very well having 2 - 1500 watt heaters going.
I would have to get into the shop where I am parked and do some circuit tracing to find a second 15A circuit. Heck maybe they are 20A in there. I should look at the wiring to see if it is 12 or 14ga.
I carry 2 small electric heaters. I try to keep the things I carry small in size. These 2 heaters fit into a small lower cabinet. The one that blows out a lot of drafts! And the same one I have to stick my heat gun in to thaw my kitchen water pipes!
Supposed to warm up here in the next week and get above freezing during the day. That will be nicer than the minus 20's I am living now!
